Business Resilience is about taking a holistic view of your business's ability to maintain key operations when under threat of disruption through internal or external events. Equally this applies to dynamic changes and demands that could be made on your business. It is therefore about your business's ability to absorb, adapt and respond to ensure overall continuity.

Until recently, the resilience of your business has probably been focused around Business Continuity which will have added a series of foundation blocks to provide you with the ability to maintain a level of continuity (depending on your investment appetite). The problem with this approach is that some elements may be very expensive as you will find that some of your investment is operationally redundant ie waiting for an event to happen. Additionally you may have missed a number of aspects of your operation where continuity needs to be considered.

If you take a more holistic and strategic approach these resilience requirements can be integrated into your operation making the overall solution more robust and effective and the investment more optimal.

When looking at Resilience you should consider a number of critical layers as highlighted in the diagram below. Addressing these aspects will help you implement a more robust and effective solution which will then be core and integral to your operation.
